"Bella? Bella please." I opened my eyes hearing a pleading voice. My surroundings surprised me; I was standing in a field with no idea of how I had gotten there. The field was dotted with little blue flowers that matched the cloudless sky. I turned around, looking everywhere. I noticed tall trees standing a little to my left. Beyond those trees it was as if there was no sunlight. I could only see a foot into the murky shadows. A chill ran down my spine even though the sun was beating down relentlessly. I had to run, it was as primal as eating or surviving. I needed to run as fast as I could away from the forest.
"Bella, please come." I had no idea who belonged to this silky voice or who it called for, but it sounded friendly. And it was not coming from the forest. I made up my mind to run to it. As I ran the forest changed, it was no longer just scary without a reason there were loud growls and howls coming from it.
Pushing myself, I ran even faster than my already breakneck speed. The howls did recede. I stopped running to take in my surroundings. I had not been paying attention to where I was going. I could hear a stream a bit in front of me, and I realized that my thought felt like sand paper. Walking slowly to the stream I could hear peaceful birds chirping happily around me. I knelt down and cupped my hands in the crystal clear water. It tasted perfect.
I sat and enjoyed the sun's rays that lazily made their way through the leaves. A butterfly flitted to me and rested on a rock next to my hand. It's wings where a brilliant purple flecked with yellow circles. The edges of it's wings faded from a purple to a light blue. The butterfly flew to the nearest leaf and started eating it. I noticed that it was an odd silver color. The leaves rustled together in harmony with the birds.
The butterfly flitted from leaf to leaf, and I watched it's progress. When it had gone to a couple of trees it cane back tho the rock to sun itself. I reached a finger out slowly, so I didn't scare it away, and rested it on the rock. The butterfly was not even startled as it climbed up my finger all the way to my forehead. I smiled and the movement did scare it away. Maybe it thought I was a rock.
"Please" I had forgotten about the voice earlier and decided to call out for it.
"Hello? Are you okay?" I called out, my voice was a higher pitch than I thought it would be, "Do you need help? Who is the Bella you are calling for?" The voice never answered before my world changed.
My ankle burned and I could feel blood flowing out quickly. I was being dragged across the rough ground. I screamed. The thing dragging me let go of my ankle just to clamp down on my calf. The thing had huge teeth and eyes that glowed even though they were pitch black. It looked like a wolf, but huge and grotesquely deformed.
It's back was so curved it looked broken, it's six legs bent at odd angles tipped with talons dripping with what I guessed was my blood. It's nose has multiple gouges ripped out of its flesh. They weren't bleeding but it looked like they hurt. Only one ear came out of it's head. None of these things scared me the most, it was the way that it's eyes looked hungry for my screams, not only my blood.
I cowered away from it and it dropped my leg to the ground. I muffled a scream, and scooted away from the horrible thing. My back hit something cold and hard. I felt hands come up under my armpits they pulled me up. I had no idea if this thing was worse than the wolf, but I needed to get away from both of the monsters. I fought and kicked but when my bad foot connected with the thing behind me the pain was to much for my body, I fell into a black as deep as the wolf's eyes.
